Nature-Assisted Therapy: Finding Safety, Connection and Calm with Elizabeth Pennington

Elizabeth Pennington joins host Melanie Michaelchuk on the Just Hyke Podcast to talk about how time in nature, movement, and outdoor experiences can support a sense of safety, calm, and connection.

They discuss how Happy Camper Therapy grew into nature-assisted work, why walking side by side may make conversation feel easier, and the differences between forest bathing, walk-and-talk therapy, and nature-assisted therapy. Elizabeth also shares a simple 20-minute nature reset: find a comfortable natural setting and notice what you can see, hear, smell, and feel.
